- Quad skate review.
ive been doing reviews alot lately i know but there's not alot of videos about these skates.
roller skating is a passionate sport of mine and it's always helped me in a bad day so I really want it to be here on my channel.
I've never understood the size up reviews. I wear a size 11, bought a size 11, and they fit perfectly. I have had 0 blisters and 0 foot pain.I'm used to wearing ice skates (figure) which are super tight, stiff and often painful, so was expecting that with these, but was pleasently surprised with how comfortable they are. They are more comfortable than most of the shoes I own.
The only issues I have had were:
1. The wheels - they were too tight, which was causing me to trip on everything, I'm new to rollerskating and thought it was my lack of skills, but, after watching KarentheKarrot I loosened them which solved the problem completely, and;
2. I changed the laces (which were super soft and flimsy) and after about a month, the new laces sliced through the stitching on the tongue on one skate. So now there is a massive slit through the outer layer of the tongue, which I'm trying to work out how to fix 🤔.
I wear a 6.5 shoe size so I didn't wanna risk the skates not fitting but I'm finally getting around to replacing the laces. I've never experienced laces cutting a but I'll see what happens. I've had my skates for over a month to and I'm a super active outdoor skater. The wheels and toe stops aren't holding up too well but that's only because there's alot of hills and gravel here and uneven sidewalks. They aren't the highest quality skate tbh but they're holding up with how rough I'm being.
@@Koro098 as a beginner I am trying to avoid rough surfaces until im more stable and barely know how to use the toe stops, so this has not been a problem lol. See how you go with the laces, I like to have them laced quite tight, so this could be my issue.
A lot of people wear shoes that are too big in fear of them being too small because “if the shoes are too big you can always wear thick socks” mentality. I’m assuming the reviews that say to order size up are the people with said mentality
*Hello to loosen the wheels you have to buy a tool they sell it in the Website of Moxi Skates you will find different type of them the Y form one and and the little one the little is in Red and Aqua and the Y tool is in black and red hope This helps* 💗🙃🥰👍🏽
@@melanyracheltoussaintsosa7499 not long after this post, the boot started to rip from the heel. I ended up just upgrading to Suregrip Boardwalks, my skating immediately improved. I'm pretty sure the Impalas were actually holding me back.
I was told to go a size up as well, but then I commented on a facebook post Impala made, and they said the boots are normally true to size. Not to discourage you, but I heard that you don't want a lot of extra room in the boot, that's how you get sores, and blisters. That's just the information that I've picked up so far. I really appreciate the video.
Have fun skating!
They're true to size if you're used to skating especially if you're artistic skating or for ramps. It's going to be tight but if you're not used to it you won't like it. It's also a cheap boot so it won't form to the foot right away either. It's really stiff but I haven't gotten blisters after the first one's I've mentioned here.
Very helpful review! Thank you. I’m so not into blisters and waiting out an extended break-in period, so thanks for the honesty in your assessment.
Im waiting for my moxi beach bunny skates to come. I'm so exited
@@brianmaysclogfactory7995 yes I got them, they are the blue ones and and I rate them 10/10
I got the pink ones yesterday and I’m excited :)
I still have my old skates. But I have not used them in 34 years.
Please use them again! Skating is low impact on joints and burns 600 calories in one hour! Super easy exercise and really fun 💖
@@Koro098 I need to find my skates again and see if they still fit. I expect they do not but I still need to find them and try them out. I wish I could talk to you about my past on this topic. Would you be willing to hear my stories?
@@saltyfox7056 sounds interesting absolutely
Omg 😱
TYSM for this detailed review! I'm a 9.5 wide and based on your pain/blisters I think Impalas must be on the narrow side, so I'll probably keep looking for another brand that is recommended by wide foot users. Sad, because I'm a fan of the Impala's price point and color schemes💖
I'm a 6.5 so I chose a seven but because of that extra room it gave me blisters. If you're a beginner I'd recommend these but if not they're not worth the price.
Wow, I didnt know you skated! That's so cool! I'm a skater and fursuitmaker too
Irrelevant but I dig the Ghost tee :))🤘🏽
Thanks they're in my top 10
do i need to buy a tool for the wheels? i’m wanting to get my first pair and these seem to have really good reviews.
I'd recommend everyone has a skate tool to adjust the king pin and wheel nut
Are skate sizing and shoe sizing the same? With real shoes i wear 8.5 but theit size chart says i should take 6
It's tricky there's more padding in skate shoes. You should email the store about your size and what skates you're asking about for a recommended size. They're always happy to help out with anything :)
did you untighten them tho?
Yeah the bearings broke in and they roll for a while
how long did yours take to come?
not long at all I made sure the shop I was ordering from had my size
